Thalasso Spa at the Piran Saltpans

The unique outdoor spa centre LEPA VIDA THALASSO SPA was opened in the northern part of the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park.

On the Slovenian coast, we can admire one of the most beautiful natural and cultural jewels of Slovenia – the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park. Here, the tradition of salt production has existed in harmony with man and nature for hundreds of years ever since the middle ages and has created and preserved a unique saline landscape. At THE LEPA VIDA THALASSO SPA guests are offered a special experience of traditional thalassotherapy in a unique natural environment amidst the salt pans using natural products, produced in the Sečovlje Salina Landscape Park. Salt-pan mud and brine are the most important factors of thalassotherapy, which uses the beneficial effects of the sea products, the sea shore and the climate for boosting the immune system and improving overall health.

Thalassotherapy

The sea is a real treasure chest of natural substances. In our Lepa Vida Thalasso Spa in the lee of the salt fields, we offer you the gifts of the sea which have a refreshing impact on the body, establish balance in the body, give it energy as well as nourish and regenerate the skin. You can choose from different treatments with natural products from the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park. Salt-pan mud and brine – “mother” water, salt, and sea water are the most important parts of the thalassotherapy at the salt pans. Of them, salt-pan mud and brine are recognized by the Ministry of Health as being natural healing substances.

Thalassotherapy is an important form of healing, which uses the gifts from the sea and the beneficial effects of the marine climate to improve the overall well-being. The word originates from the Greek word thalassa, meaning “sea”. In thalassotherapy, sea products are used for health and therapeutic purposes, and it is mostly used as a part of relaxation and cosmetic treatments.

Salt-pan mud wraps

The salt-pan mud is Istrian clay enriched with brine. It is a naturally soft, fine-grained homogeneous paste-like mass with a blackish colour. Due to its gradual maturing in the salt ponds, it contains a high concentration of minerals. It is a natural remedy which is recognized for its medical purposes and is used to treat diseases such as rheumatic and degenerative joint diseases and to relieve pain in the locomotor system. It is also used for relaxation and beautifying purposes since it accelerates sweat and toxin secretion, and it softens the skin so it becomes more toned and firm. Therefore, it is also recommended in treatments for cellulite reduction and body transformation. >> more

Bath in brine – mother water

Brine, mother water – the mother of all waters – is a precious liquid which remains at the bottom of the salt evaporation ponds after hand-harvesting the sea salt. Due to the rich content of minerals like bromine, iodine and magnesium, brine has been highly valued for centuries. Brine is used in the form of baths. Its most important characteristic is that it encourages and strengthens the body’s defence abilities, and provides a calming effect due to the presence of bromine. The bath accelerates the blood circulation of the whole body and thus toxin secretions. The skin is more toned and regains its elasticity and youthful appearance. >> more

Sea salt scrubs

By scrubbing, dead skin cells are removed so that the skin is softer and smoother. Salt scrub enhances the efficiency of the following therapies since it prepares the body to absorb more minerals from the salt-pan mud and brine. >> more

Manual body massages

Human touch is one of the most pleasant and efficient ways of relaxing. Massage is the oldest and most natural method of treatment and preserving health. It relaxes the whole body and mind. Western massage techniques have an effect mostly on the muscles, ligaments and tendons, thus improving blood and lymph circulation. Classic massages are used mostly for analgesic and relaxation purposes. >> more
